How to Use a Fluke Networks Quick Clean
Cleaner
WCaution
To prevent damage to the device and to connectors
and to keep contamination off of endfaces, read all
instructions and obey all safety precautions given in
the instructions for the device you use to clean
connectors.
To clean the connectors on test reference cords, use
wipes, swabs, and solvent. The Quick Clean cleaner
cleans the fiber core, but can leave contamination
around the core. The contamination can move to
the core when you make connections. See “To Clean
Connector Ends” on page 214.
Note
You can use the Quick Clean cleaners to clean APC
endfaces.
1 Use the video probe to inspect the connector. If it is dirty,
continue to step 2.
2 To clean a bulkhead connector, remove the cap. To clean the
connector on a fiber cable, remove only the tip of the cap.
3 If necessary for a bulkhead connector, extend the tip of the
device.
4 Push the device straight into the connector until you hear a
loud click. See Figure 93. Then remove the device.
Note
Pushing the cleaner into a connector multiple
times can cause static to build up on the fiber
endface. The static can cause dust to stick to the
endface. If this occurs, put a dot of solvent on the
cleaner’s cloth, then clean the connector again.
